One far-left flunky replaced by another.

Balance of power remains the same.

I think Biden wants an African-American woman to be the next nominee.

Even better.  Senate majority should be within reach after the midterms.  Heck, they can have it if WV flips.

If GB was a point guard and was dribbling down the court, his coach would be jumping up and down on the sideline, screaming for a time-out.

"Guys! We gotta regroup!"

Give him a break, he does a lot of high altitude hiking.

Have the ladies from "The Squad" started to offer blow jobs to Biden to get their nominees in yet? 

[Jason]

I assume Breyer knows the dems are going to lose control in the midterms and it would then be very difficult for Biden to get through his progressive nominee. The timing of this makes sense

It appears he is smart enough to step aside unlike his previous associate who liked to sleep on duty.

If Joe Biden wants a black woman, as President he should be allowed to have a black woman.

Could Kamala cast tie-breaking vote to make HERSELF Biden's SCOTUS justice?

Some are speculating that Biden could nominate Kamala Harris to become the first Black female Supreme Court justice, after making history as the first female vice president.

Senate procedure experts say it is possible for Biden to nominate Harris to the Supreme Court — and for Harris to vote in her favor. The Senate is evenly split at 50-50, and Harris could conceivably cast the tie-breaking vote on her confirmation to the highest court of the United States. 

In the unlikely scenario that Harris is Biden's choice, the Senate and the House would also have to confirm a new vice president. The 25th Amendment says that whenever there is a vacancy in the office of the vice president, the president shall nominate a vice president who will need to be confirmed by a majority vote of both chambers.

Without a vice president in office, the next person in the line of succession to the presidency is Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.

 

Nancy VP? Yikes!

I don't need to click to know the source. This sounds very scary and plausible to some people of a certain demographic.
